Nemo,
i know the low compression hurts idle. I run Crane #18's as well, they have more duration, but less lift. My idle is at about 850rpms with a a/f at 13.5:1.
"Personally, I would rather give up 30hp than have to deal with that idle and it would probably spool quicker and have more midrange power at the same time."
that is the reason i was making cracks. 30hp on a 700+ car is nothing, esp when it is fwd. Unless it's a FULL drag car (which it's not still has interior) there is no point. Each to his own though.
my point was the same as yours, he could have made the car idle better, even with the lower cr. Maybe i will start playing in you guys field, I was thinking about a going back to turbo. I just want close to no lag would like to be in boost at 3500rpms, maybe not full boost but some. I was running the gt35r on my 2.0 motor and i wasn't in boost till 4k, which when you have a 8:1 cr motor it sucks to drive the sob on the street you get no where fast, unless it's balls to the wall.
